Lyrics

[00:00.44] You wake to rain one early morning
[00:09.09] you’ve waited for since you were born.
[00:16.75] Little boy blue come blow your horn
[00:24.10] that westbound train, it leaves at dawn.
[00:31.11] And you kiss your mama’s cheek goodbye,
[00:38.73] She’s got all her days to wonder why
[00:47.57] you were her one and only son to ride on.
[01:02.66] You wandered west and joined a crew
[01:10.45] to do the work you were born to do.
[01:17.24] But the golden plains were ruled by a feud,
[01:25.20] guns were drawn and the bullets flew.
[01:32.26] When you found his broken body dead
[01:39.44] There were just two words inside your head,
[01:48.38] “Grab that gun, cause the war is on and ride on.”
[02:04.26] Ten thousand wild horses ridingdown on you,
[02:14.30] ridin’ down on you.
[02:19.89] Ten thousand wild horses ridingdown on you,
[02:29.27] ridin’ down on you.
[02:33.37] No sacred cow could save you now, so ride on.
[02:49.62] You lost your love, your only friend
[02:56.61] won to the gun of a hired hand.
[03:04.00] Spilled his blood and took his land
[03:08.20] make a lump of meat out of a man.
[03:19.16] Now a blackbird sings a lullabye,
[03:26.61] “Goodnight, goodnight, it’s time to fly,”
[03:34.60] You stand alone, no love no home and ride on.
[03:51.43] Soon you were parched no sign of rain,
[03:59.12] Joshua took you underwing.
[04:06.46] His outstretched arm a beckoning
[04:13.86] led you to a place of green.
[04:21.30] In a hospital of slot machines
[04:28.74] the drugs too thick for you to dream.
[04:36.62] Go lay your bread on lucky seven red and ride on.
[04:51.85] Ten thousand white shooting stars shining
[05:01.81] down on you, shining down on you
[05:06.91] Ten thousand white shooting stars falling
[05:14.35] down on you, falling down on you
[05:20.96] say goodbye to the unlucky ones and ride on.
[06:06.16] Too tired to run, too scared to stop
[06:12.56] You learned to love or so she thought.
[06:19.92] But you left her bleeding heart to rot,
[06:26.87] with her crown of thorns and forget-me-nots.
[06:36.08] Now she sees you in the wayward smile
[06:42.81] and the wandering eye of your unknown child,
[06:50.10] Soon he’ll have to walk that crooked mile and ride on.
[07:06.94] Ten thousand white shooting stars falling
[07:14.72] down on you, falling down on you
[07:21.13] Ten thousand white shooting stars falling
[07:26.88] down on you, falling down on you
[07:34.73] say goodbye to the unlucky ones and ride on.
[07:49.94] We make the trade the day we’re born:
[07:58.48] a mouthful for a bit of soul.
[08:04.98] But you took that much too hard you know
[08:12.02] and runnin’ for your life made you grow old.
[08:18.34] And that morning rain turned dust to mud,
[08:24.04] You gained an open road for your flesh and blood,
[08:34.14] Now there’s no one left for you to love, so ride on.
[08:49.78] When angels fall it looks like snow,
[08:57.39] Their wings are torn from where they grow.
[09:03.89] You laid yours in a leather case,
[09:11.39] a souvenir of your disgrace.
[09:18.86] When you think from all the things you’ve run,
[09:26.48] you wonder whether you’ve lost or won,
[09:34.06] why you were her one and only son to ride on.
[09:48.11]
